1. Seriously? Why would you start at second year pay? We will get all the pilots we need at first year rates. Friday they are interviewing previously qualified 747/767 Captains and check airmen.
2. 47 confirmed tails with conversion slots in Tel Aviv. These are CAM assets. You will see a 50/50 split, ATI-ABX
3. Confirmed hiring ten a month at least through the next two years based on current Amazon projections. We will double crew force by that time.
4. You will get either a DC-8,DC-9, or 767 sim. Flying is flying, but you better have hand skills. Glass skills won't really be what they are looking for.......trust me on this!

Didn't say that you wouldn't get pilots, just wanted clarification. I found it silly myself but always best to find the right info. Thx and appreciate the rest.

In order for ABX to start new hires at second year pay it would have to have Union approval.
The ABX pilot group is relatively old. Median age is somewhere in the late 50's.
If you're under 35 and get hired in the first group you'll be number one on the seniority list eventually. If they hire like Moto thinks you'll be off reserve within a year and probably captain in 5 years. I don't have a crystal ball so these are just educated guesses.
We have pretty good work rules. The ABX pilot group is what the Navy calls plank owners. We are the pilot group that started Teamsters local 1224.

Has there been any hint to what monthly bids would look like? Commutable trips if not living in base? Do you have a lot of commuters now? What are lines like now? 3-4 days on 3-4 days off, etc...?

Commuting into CVG... ABX work day is from 3AM to 3AM. Because of this you can commute into CVG on any DHL flight, they all land prior to 3AM and all outbound flights depart after 3AM. At ABX, if you are booked on the flight and you don't make it in, no harm. You just make up the day on a later day off.
Each airplane has 4-5 jumpseats
Lines are a mixture of 17 on 14 off and week on week off. I'm 12 from the bottom and can hold which ever pattern I want if you factor in reserve.
